Anyone have the issue of Palilalia?

i tend to repeat the last 3 or 4 words in a phrase when i say a phrase or speech i rehearsed in my ming beforehand, for example, i would say: "Jewelery making is something i like to do, like to do..." I find it more embarassing than troublesome, because i tend to repeat myself before i catch it. I also do it when i get excited, but i stutter when im upset or tired. I didnt know there was a scientific term for it until just now.

I do. I tend to make a point over and over again. I used to repeat phrases over and over, but I apparently grew out of that. Now I'll rant and make the same point over and over. Like saying "I want to sell my computer next week." then I'll elaborate on that and later say "so, I'm gonna sell my computer next week, I hope somebody buys it". (I'm talking about a spare PC I own, not my main computer.)

I do it while writing quite alot, too. But the wonderful thing about typing email or message board posts is that you can proof read and CATCH all the duplicates and DELETE THEM before anyone sees it!

If I only had a pause button in real live conversation that would allow me to do the same thing.
